Will he play?

Will he not?

This is what Elliott Freeman had to say, hockey reporter, yesterday about Sid.

And what we found out over the last couple of days and especially over the last few hours leading up to this game where Crosby did not play, he sat out hoping that Team Canada would win.

It looked dicey for a long time, but the Canadians did pull through and win it.

I think that Sidney Crosby is probably going to play in the gold medal game.

If I had to guess right now,

Sid will play because he skated this morning in a closed ice session.

Now, just because he skated doesn't mean he's good to go.

Doesn't mean that it's the end all be all.

Oh, well, Sid immediately can go.

Just give him a couple more days.

He was doubtful for today's game before ultimately being ruled out.

But as TSN said, it was a good sign that he was able to test some things out.

Where Elliott Freeman, you heard the clip from a couple days ago, said that Team Canada and everyone around Sidney Crosby did everything humanly possible for Crosby to play, including searching for and putting together a custom brace.

But unfortunately, he was not able to go in the semifinal.

When I hear that...

And it says everyone around Crosby did everything humanly possible for him to play.

I think of this.

Kyle Dubas is on the staff for Team Canada.
